| Abstract: | The “Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)”, caused by severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), progressed rapidly since its first outbreak, and quickly developed into a pandemic. Although COVID-19 mostly presents with respiratory symptoms, researchers have started reporting neurologic manifestations such as cerebrovascular diseases in patients, with COVID-19 as the pandemic has progressed. Herein, we report a case of 38-year-old female patient identified with a left common carotid artery dissection, with COVID-19. Clinicians must keep in mind that COVID-19 can cause vascular complications such as carotid artery dissections in the ensuing period, even after the acute phase, although there is currently a lack of sufficient evidence to identify any causal association between COVID-19 and arterial dissections. |
